I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, the poems are beautiful and skilled. But, many if not most of the poems are specific to initiations within the Rune-Gild and are thus obscured to the casual reader. I really wish I had bought his "Viking Poetry for Heathen Rites" book, because I think that's what I actually needed several years ago.

I'm kinda mad at myself for picking up this book tbh. It's rather useless to me, but it's also this lovely hardcover book...
